I really need help. I have a cake I need to do for this weekend and I am making elmo and cookie monster as cake toppers out of RKT and covered in fondant. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to come up with how to do the hair. your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that, is a clay extruder easier to handle than a pasta machine. I ask, because I got a pasta machine as a present, but never used it.

You could do buttercream with a grass tip or if you're doing fondant you can cut little snips all over with small scissors.

Hmm! I have used that technique for trees, but it never crossed my mind that I could also use this as a hair option. I appreciate your input.

I would also suggest the grass tip, I love it!

The grass tip does work great with icing. You can make it look like fur pretty easily. I have a Monster's Inc cake in my gallery if you want to see what it looks like.
